Borscht (Beet Soup)
A lot of the flavor comes from the Mott’s Clamato Juice instead of many separate ingredients and spices. If you use vegetable stock, this recipe can almost claim to be completely vegetarian, except for the small amount of dried clam broth (ingredient #10) found on the Mott’s Clamato Juice ingredients list.
